Chapter 405: Alibi
"Except for Joan, they should all have shareholders of Benson Economics and Trade. Those shareholders are basically collateral branches of the family. They may want to discuss some business cooperation with you." Deman said to Mu Hua after looking at the contacts sitting with Joan.
These contacts are said to be supervisors of the successor trials, and they are more like mouthpieces between the Benson heirs and the family's backers.
But no matter what their real responsibilities are, Mu Hua is not interested in them.
And it's a bit mercenary. From Mu Hua's current perspective, the Benson family doesn't seem to be in his eyes in terms of strength or wealth.
At most, he is now concerned about the impact on Samantha and Tabetha, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time on stabbing Ivy's waist, and just find an excuse to create an accident.
"I'm not interested in Benson Economics and Trade, and don't let them bother me with the trial. By the way, you are not curious about the situation of the courtyard war?" Mu Hua asked Deman.
"I'm not an adventurer. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I don't want to hear some disappointing stories about death and injury." Deman said indifferently.
"Oh, as long as you like it." Deman was quite resistant to the courtyard. Everyone has their own ambitions. Mu Hua didn't say much. He chuckled and saw Qiong waving again. Mu Hua turned and walked in the direction of the few people.
As Mu Hua approached, the four people looked at Mu Hua, with smiles on their faces. Qiong was about to say hello to Mu Hua, but saw that Mu Hua just nodded to her and walked directly past them, with a smile frozen on their faces.
At a round table near the window, Padge was reading a paper magazine with a woolen shawl on her body.
The young woman had a kind of arrogance that kept strangers away. The winter sun sprinkled into the room through the frosted glass, and her face showed a kind of tranquility that made people want to "dirty" her.
"Back? How was it? Did you encounter any danger?" Glancing at the awkward people not far away, Padge put down the magazine in her hand and asked Mu Hua who was walking towards her.
"Fortunately, the monsters are more restrained and got some benefits." Mu Hua sat opposite Padge and patted Daju who was following him. Daju walked to Padge with lazy steps. When he leaned over, he put his furry tiger head on Padge's plump thighs.
"Hehe, you are good at pleasing people. Where did you get the tiger?" The fierce tiger was very likable when it was well-behaved. Padge stroked the tiger's head and asked Mu Hua with a sweet smile.
"Summoning beasts, do you like it? I'll give you a few." Mu Hua's tone was natural.
"Then should I collect some magic books on tiger summoning?" Padge rolled her eyes at Mu Hua charmingly, kneading Daju's soft cheeks, and her eyes flashed with love.
Summoned beasts can be transferred. The summoned beasts that were originally given by Mu Hua's skills cannot be transferred, but after the soul tide is perfected, the summoned beasts in Mu Hua's hands seem to be able to transfer the summoning authority.
Not to mention the big orange, even his skeletons that were squeezed by the terror riders and lying in the summoning space can be transferred.
However, if you want to get the summoned beasts given by others, you must at least learn the summoning magic to summon them, otherwise you don’t even have a summoning space, and you can’t connect Mu Hua’s summoning space, and it’s impossible to summon the summoned beasts.
And if it’s Padge, Mu Hua doesn’t mind wasting a few hundred-refined secret stones to get a few big oranges for her to play with.
“Don’t bother, I’ll teach you, go to your room.” Mu Hua smiled wickedly, he still has the skill stone for tiger summoning.
"Does this count as a bribe? Taibesha contacted me before and said she wanted to order a batch of hand shields and short spears with enhanced magic barriers and paralysis effects. In view of your efforts, I can let the workshop give priority to her shipment."
With a smile on her lips, Padget pursed her pink lips and looked at Mu Hua without avoiding it. The slippery tip of her tongue licking her upper lip looked very fierce, very fierce.
"Mu Hua! What do you mean!" Qiong interrupted with a somewhat embarrassed voice, but because she was ignored, Qiong chased after her.
"Hmm? Something? If you have something, go find Bessa. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the Benson family." Mu Hua frowned. His interest in appreciating Padget's "ferocity" was interrupted, and Mu Hua was a little unhappy.
"You..." Qiong seemed to want to refute, but Padget glanced at her coldly.
"Miss, you shouldn't interrupt our conversation. It's very rude." Padget didn't seem very happy that she couldn't continue to be "fierce" to Mu Hua. She interrupted Qiong's speech, and the big orange lying beside her also made a threatening hiss at Qiong.
The big orange is very fierce. Even if it is just a wild beast, the physical fitness of an ordinary tiger can reach about 40.
However, Mu Hua basically confirmed that the strength of the summoned beast given to him by the summoning skill should also be affected by his own attributes.
When he first obtained the Dullahan summoned beast, his personal attributes were low, and the attributes of those horror rider summoned beasts were also at the bottom of the horror riders. He originally thought that was normal.
But now, not counting the bonus obtained by the summoning skill level, the physical fitness of the big orange he summoned is 60, just like the gray wolf earlier. This has almost reached the limit of the natural growth of wild beasts and tigers. It is also considered a fierce character among tigers.
Well, although the big orange in front of him is very fierce, the young woman who was disturbed is more fierce. Compared with the big orange, Qiong is more taboo about Paji.
She knows Paji, the founder of the Robin Enchanting brand and the daughter of the president of the Northern Strategy Association. Qiong is not easy to turn back when she is fierce.
"Qiong, I don't know them. Whether it's Benson's heir or Benson's economic and trade affairs, I don't need to talk to them, right?" Mu Hua said to Qiong to break the awkwardness.
"Then you should also say hello to me, instead of ignoring me. Polite, this is very impolite." Qiong said to Mu Hua as if to fight back against Paddy.
Paddy's eyes flashed with a strange color, and a dangerous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Perhaps her way of getting along with Mu Hua easily aroused outsiders' cognition of her, but Webster's daughter, this woman is not a gentle big sister who is easy to talk to.
"Yes, yes, polite, polite, okay, you should go back over there." Mu Hua waved his hand helplessly. He had no grudges with Qiong. Seeing that Paddy seemed to be making trouble, Mu Hua drove Qiong away to prevent her from being cheated by Paddy.
Qiong was not without vision. Although she was dissatisfied, she knew when to stop. She turned away angrily, but saw Mu Hua suddenly remembered something and asked.
"By the way, as far as I know, Ivy should have gone to live in the new city with the Caesar family. Is that okay?"
"It's none of my business." Joan replied unhappily, and walked towards the original table without looking back in her high heels.
"Hey, someone from the Benson family?" Padge sneered and asked Mu Hua, who was no longer paying attention to that place.
"Yeah." Mu Hua responded, and Padge was not interested in talking about them anymore, and pointed to the video playing on the projection screen.
"The black-robed man who cast the Touch of Jealousy is you?"
"Yeah, you can recognize this?"
"Hehe, I'm familiar with your size, the Touch of Jealousy, this ability should be hereditary." Padge chuckled, seemed to sigh, and muttered in a low voice.
"Can this be inherited?" Mu Hua really had no idea about this.
"There is a certain probability, it may not be the Touch of Jealousy, it may be a similar ability, or it may be able to master the Touch of Jealousy faster." Padge also had a vague understanding.
"Similar to supernatural talent?" Mu Hua was curious.
"Well, probably. Mu, do you want to have a baby with me?" Padge said something that stunned Mu Hua, with an expression like she was researching a topic.
"Are you kidding?" Mu Hua was suspicious. They were good friends, and it was okay to say they were best friends, but having a baby between best friends was not a question of shame or not.
"No, I'll have a baby sooner or later anyway, and yours is the best, right?" Padge chuckled, but nodded and gave Mu Hua a serious look.
"No."
"You don't have to raise it."
"No, I don't like children."
"I don't like them either."
"Why do you raise it if you don't like it?"
"Just throw it to Weber, how can I raise a child?"
"..."
"..."
The two were silent, looking at each other, and finally Padge and Mu Hua both shook their heads. Forget it, let's put this issue aside for now. Having a baby is really not a pleasant topic.
Human beings are very fickle animals. Various movies and TV series always portray people's love for children. Even if they are tortured to death by children, they will inevitably perform the warmth of family affection.
Just because of these, people seem to think it is natural after too many performances.
But it's okay if you say you want to know it this way. Under the influence of a strange emotion that seems to be unique to humans, it is even worse that disliking children has become a very abnormal thing and mentality.
Let alone your own children, even if they are other people's, no matter whether you really hate children, you have to pretend to be kind in front of children in front of others.
Otherwise, it is almost inevitable that someone will despise and criticize you, and you may even die socially.
Just like respecting the elderly and loving the young is no longer a virtue, but if you don't respect and love them, you become immoral. What kind of logic is this? You may be condemned if you avoid them.
It is normal for women to make trouble, but it has become a virtue that is hard to find when discussing things and reasoning. The judges in the court can educate you from the bottom of their hearts. It is your fault to reason with women. . .
And for most humans, such illogical common sense may only require a best-selling film to create a reversal. As long as the plot is more emotional and accompanied by some flattery, humans can change their cognition in minutes.
Humans are fickle. These situations are not only in Mu Hua's previous life, but also in this world. There are many rhythm-setting people, and this kind of situation also applies.
Especially in the society of the residents, even in various strategy videos, the brave will definitely find a few girls to be heartfelt and make vows. Without having a few children, the life of the brave is full of regrets, and they can't eat well, sleep well, and have no hope in life after defeating the devil.
Regardless of whether it is the need of the plot or the trend of the "general trend", let alone, it seems to have no effect. The audience thinks it is just a fun interpretation. After watching it too much, many people really follow it. Not only follow it, but also believe that everyone is the same.
Perhaps the fickleness of human beings only requires a few interpretations and propaganda. Under the operation of force and intention, it is not an exaggeration to change the consciousness of a group in three to five years.
It is not appropriate to say more about the details, but it is obvious that Mu Hua and Pa Ji are not the type who buy into that.
Children are the most troublesome thing, let's wait until I have been around for a few more years before we talk about it.
Even if I don't want to have children, I still have to learn the tiger call, learning makes people happy.
After sending Qiong away and making an appointment with Pa Ji for home teaching, Mu Hua took Daju back to the third floor suite first.
As for why they didn't go back to the room hand in hand to teach now?
Well, Mu Hua has heard that the middle-aged man named Francis has contacted Ivy, and it seems that he wants her to come to the Deman Hotel.
Back to the suite on the third floor, Mu Hua entered the fortress city through the newly obtained courtyard key, sneaked out of the courtyard using shadow stealth, and returned to the town.
Then he sneaked all the way to the new city area, met up with Wednesday, and waited for Ivy to leave the hotel.
After all the trouble, he also had various alibis, and he wanted to try to take the opportunity to bury Ivy first.
Mu Hua said, no problem, we are professionals. (End of this chapter)
